FischerTal Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 WI Squad for India tests Darren Sammy (captain), Tino Best, Darren Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Sheldon Cotterrell, Narsingh Deonarine, Kirk Edwards, Chris Gayle, Veerasammy Permaul, Kieran Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Shane Shillingford and Chadwick Walton Good squad Source: http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-west-indies-2013-14/content/current/story/676553.html
rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 No Sunil Narine. He would have been difficult customer on Indian pitches.
King Tendulkar Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 No Sunil Narine. He would have been difficult customer on Indian pitches. How come he was not picked? Thats a bit odd
rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 How come he was not picked? Thats a bit odd He has not been effective in test cricket till now. Shillingford is their #1 test spinner. Permaul is picked seeing our weakness against left arm spin.
Junyfan Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 How come he was not picked? Thats a bit odd He is no magician. :two_thumbs_up:
Vijay.Sharma Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I wanna see Kemar Roach and Tino Best hurl some missiles at Virat and Chetty and how they get on top of them and score off them. I wanna see how Marly and Gayle handle Ashwin and Mishra (hopefully). I also wanna see Ummu back in the team to dish out what Roach and Best have to for us.

rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Only 2 fast bowlers? Sent from my GT-I9500 using Tapatalk Three. Roach, Best, and Sheldon Cotteral; new left arm pacer, 4th is Darren Sammy. Sheldon Cotteral. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogRNp3HWqQU]Sheldon Cotterell, express left arm quick bowler, sends the selectors a message - YouTube[/ame]
SLICKR392 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 No Brathwaite? The midget was decent the last time. That hack Gayle makes into the team despite all his poor run in the last few months.
rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 No Brathwaite? The midget was decent the last time. That hack Gayle makes into the team despite all his poor run in the last few months. He will prosper on flat Indian pitches.
SLICKR392 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 He will prosper on flat Indian pitches. He couldn't score against Bang on pattas.
rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 He couldn't score against Bang on pattas. Bang wickets are not exactly flat. They help spinners from ball 1.
Scarves Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 This has to be Bravo's series. Edwards is a beast and ditto Roach.
Vijay.Sharma Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Bang wickets are not exactly flat. They help spinners from ball 1.Are Indian wickets flat? Any objective evidence of that?
rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Are Indian wickets flat? Any objective evidence of that? Most Indian pitches are best on day 1 and 2 for batting and they deteriorate as the match goes on and assist spinners. So team batting first is mostly has advantage and this is the main reason Dhoni asks for pitches which help spinners get turn from day 1 to negative the toss advantage. BD pitches are slow mostly and not for stroke makers.
SLICKR392 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Bang wickets are not exactly flat. They help spinners from ball 1. Yea, but its Bang dude. They scored 600+ against the WI where Gayle missed out. IIRC, he even failed in the ODI series.
cowboysfan Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Am i the only one who thinks this is a tough series? Windies have a decent all round team now with some match winners and our team is really up in the air with nothing settled.
maniac Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 No Narine Also WI have a good Pace attack....Big test for our new openers
cowboysfan Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I also see they left out Rampaul which is baffling,he surely has to be a better choice than Cotterall.
rkt.india Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Am i the only one who thinks this is a tough series? Windies have a decent all round team now with some match winners and our team is really up in the air with nothing settled. Absolutely.
